We are pleased to announce the 2011-2012 Board of Trustees for Joliet Montessori School. The Board is charged with supporting the mission of the school by taking viability-focused action on behalf of the next generation of students. Specific responsibilities of the Board of Trustees include ensuring the long-term financial stability of the school, development and monitoring of the strategic plan, and hiring, supporting, and evaluating the Head of School.
 
The Board of Trustees consists mainly of current JMS parents, but also includes past parents, past students, and friends from Joliet and surrounding communities. Board members are profiled by the Committee on Trustees to identify individuals who will best carry out the strategic plan and move our school forward. Each member of the Board has expressed a continuing pledge to the success of JMS. Every effort is made to ensure that the Board embodies a broad cross section of our school community and includes individuals who bring distinct skills to the school.
